Following on from this weekend’s World Cup football drama, which took everyone out of their comfort zones, I’m sharing some story writing prompts here from the novella-in-flash.com blog – different ways to get your story characters out of their comfort zones… without having to use a footballer as your protagonist!

If you’re a fiction writer and ever feeling stuck for ideas, I’ve pulled together a diverse list of options here for people to refer to.

And although these monthly writing prompts are drawn from a website devoted to the novella-in-flash, I invite readers here to harness these prompts flexibly for all kinds of writing – not just fiction, but also poetry or creative non-fiction inspired by your own personal experiences.

Subscribe at the end of the weblink to receive these writing prompts in your email in-box (and get access to some soon-to-be announced deals on mentoring…!)
